#OurHearts are healthier when we quit smoking together. Smokers are up to 4x more likely to develop heart disease or to have a stroke, compared to nonsmokers. But it pays to quit. Just 1 year after quitting, your heart attack risk drops sharply.

#OurHearts eat healthier together. Get heart healthy for life by following the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan.

If heart disease patients were in one city in Mississippi, it would be the largest city in the state. That's why we're going to be talking about heart disease all February long! Get ready for #AmericanHeartMonth

Health literacy month may be over (it's in October) but that doesn't mean you can't update yourself on what it is and how you can help achieve it.

We know a lot of Mississippians will be enjoying fireworks tonight - but remember - a culture of health is a culture of prevention. Prevent fireworks injuries!
